Chapter 37
Arriving at the ferry terminal in Dongling Town, Xu Qingya, who hadn't returned to Fulin Island for a while, seemed quite happy.Perhaps as she grew older, Xu Qingya gradually realized that her hometown in Fulin Island was not as miserable as she imagined.

It's just that every time she sees the turbid seawater, Xu Qingya can really feel that the current seawater pollution in the East China Sea is indeed more serious than imagined.Fortunately, Xu Haibao told her that the sea around the village is still blue.

In a sense, Fulin Island is remote.But it is precisely because of its unique geographical environment that it has made Fulin Island invincible and still retains the appearance of the island fishing village in the early years.

"Third Uncle, please forgive me!"

Xu Qingya, who got off the ferry with her things, soon saw Xu Licheng who had been waiting for a long time at the pier.Xu Qingya was no stranger to this third uncle.It's just that she hasn't seen this third uncle for a while.

Seeing Xu Qingya who greeted obediently, Xu Licheng who took the luggage also smiled and said: "Girl, I'm willing to come back!"

"Third Uncle, I'm back! I usually have to go to school, and I don't have time to go home. In fact, I still miss Third Uncle very much!"

Knowing that Xu Licheng was joking that she didn't like to go back to her hometown, Xu Qingya blushed a little, but also smiled coquettishly.After all, as the only girl in the Xu family, Xu Qingya is still very favored in the family.

Especially the third aunt, who had always wanted to have a daughter, regarded Xu Qingya as her own daughter.It's just a pity that after the third aunt gave birth to her first child, she lost her reproductive function due to physical reasons.

Perhaps because of this, Xu Licheng and his wife loved Xu Qingya, a niece, even more than their own son.Once upon a time, Xu Haixing, Xu Haibao's cousin, also bluntly said that he was not born, but Xu Qingya was born by his parents.

After laughing, Xu Licheng also said enthusiastically: "Haibao, you and Xiaoya didn't eat on the boat, did you? Hurry up and go home, your third aunt has already prepared a table of meals, waiting for you to come back!"

"Great! Finally I can taste my aunt's handicraft again!"

Perhaps because she has decided to go home for the New Year, Xu Qingya also gradually understands that there are still people who care about her in the small fishing village she is about to go to.But because of her own reasons, she rarely even resented going to that place.

Now that she finally decided to come back, she really realized that she had neglected the kind of family affection that was always there!
Originally, I wanted to eat in the town, so I asked someone to help me decorate the old house.Now that he suddenly learned that his third aunt had prepared meals, Xu Haibao finally decided to go back to the village first, and then discuss the decoration with his third uncle.

After all, there is still some time before the Chinese New Year. If you want to decorate your house, there should be someone in the village who will.If someone in the village knows it, it can save a lot of trouble.It will undoubtedly cost more to find craftsmen from the town.

In fact, although there are not many villagers living in Fulin Island, there are also many craftsmen, including masons and stonemasons.However, the masons in the village now rarely have the opportunity to take over the construction of new houses.

But for Xu Haibao, these veteran craftsmen are very important if he wants to preserve or reproduce the original style of the island fishing village architecture in the future.Perhaps in addition to fishing, his employment will also bring them new income.

If staying on the island can make money, Xu Haibao believes that these craftsmen who are not too old will choose to leave the village to work in the city.After all, if you can find things to do in the village, why go to the city?

Sitting in Xu Licheng's small fishing village, Xu Haibao was still very cautious. He threw a life jacket to Xu Qingya and said, "Xiaoya, put this on! Today's wind and waves don't look bad, don't catch a cold! Third Uncle, Wait until you get off the boat and drive slowly!"

"it is good!"

Regarding Xu Haibao's confession, Xu Qingya didn't say much.But when he was wearing a life jacket, he couldn't help but said, "Third Uncle, why don't you build a shed for your fishing boat? That way, you won't get caught in the rain."

"If it rains, I basically don't go to sea. If I build a shed, it will take up a bit of space. Girl, are you still seasick now?"

As a girl who grew up in a fishing village, Xu Qingya doesn't seem to get seasick when taking the ferry.It's the only fishing boat that makes me feel dizzy every time.Perhaps it was also because of this that she kept her distance from going home.

Xu Qingya who was questioned blushed a little and said, "I guess not! I don't know either!"

From Xu Qingya's lack of confidence, Xu Licheng, who somehow knew that she had a shadow on the fishing boat, also intentionally slowed down the speed of the boat.Taking advantage of this opportunity, the three people sitting on the boat chatted without saying a word.

Asked about Xu Haixing, Xu Licheng also smiled and said: "I received a call from your father the day before yesterday, and I have already called that kid. If it is Xiaonian, he will definitely not be able to come back. However, the Spring Festival should be been back."

"Third Uncle, does Brother Starfish work in the East China Sea? Speaking of which, my brother and I didn't go to see him when we came back from East China Sea last time!"

Thinking of what Xu Haibao had said, Xu Qingya was more or less concerned about her cousin who graduated early.After all, when Xu Haibao enlisted in the army and Xu Haixing was in high school in the city, he also lived in Xu's house for a long time.

However, compared to his attitude towards Xu Haibao, Xu Haixing also seemed a little lacking in confidence in front of Xu Qingya.It's just that the two elder brothers dote on Xu Qingya, the only younger sister.

Regarding Xu Qingya's embarrassment, Xu Licheng smiled and said: "It's okay, that kid has not been working for a long time, and I heard that there are quite a lot of things. Besides, the company always arranges business trips for him. If you want to find him, you probably won't easy.

Anyway, when we come back from the Chinese New Year, our family can get together again for the New Year, and then we will have a good reunion.Speaking of which, the last time Baowa was discharged from the army, he wanted to come back and take a look, but he just couldn't find the time! "

Although there are only three children in the family, the three children in Xu's family are all very close.As an elder, Xu Licheng was naturally very pleased.After all, family bonds are also the most important part of maintaining family continuity.

It's a pity that the Xu family lineage seems to be not very prosperous.Originally, Xu Licheng finally had an older brother, but unfortunately he died young.As for the second generation of the Xu family, there are currently only two males.

This also means that if the Xu family wants to spread out in the future, it will ultimately depend on the two brothers of the Xu family.Although Xu Haibao still has an aunt, to Xu Licheng, the water splashed by a married daughter is different from that of a male.

Most importantly, although that aunt married in the city, she was not in the city.According to Xu Haibao's knowledge, this aunt and her husband often do business in the north and rarely return to Baohai.As for going back to the village, that's even less.

Although they are relatives, Xu Haibao doesn't seem to be too fond of this aunt.The reason is simple, that aunt and that uncle don't have much ability, but they always want to do great things.Occasionally call home, mostly to ask to borrow money to do business.

Even Xu Haibao's father has always been concerned about his aunt who is doing business in other places.But this aunt's incomprehension also disappointed my father.Not being able to see each other all year round, this kind of family affection has weakened over time.

In the final analysis, family affection and love are sometimes the same, and both need to be managed with heart.If you blindly ask others to pay, you don't want to pay.Over time, both family affection and love may perish.

When the fishing boat arrived at Fulin Island, Xu Qingya also looked very excited when she saw the familiar old fishing village houses and fishing boat wharf.Taking out the New Year gift that Xu Haibao bought for her in Donghai, he started shooting with a slightly expensive SLR camera.

Many times, some of the surrounding scenery is always easy to be forgotten.Xu Qingya, who finally remembered these things now, suddenly felt that the scenery of this fishing village, which recorded her childhood memories, was actually very beautiful.

Rows of old houses built on the hillside stand on the hillside in an orderly manner.The smoke from cooking from time to time also adds a touch of peace to the fishing village.Such an ancient fishing village is really rare in China!

When the fishing boat docked safely, Xu Qingya, who didn't need to carry luggage, looked at the villagers who asked questions from time to time, and said hello with a smile.What made her feel a little embarrassed was that she didn't know any of the children playing at the entrance of the village.

As if seeing Xu Qingya's embarrassment, Xu Haibao also smiled and said, "It's okay! In a few days, you will know whose family these monkeys are children. When I went back to the village last time, I was just like you. Many people I almost don't know each other."

Listening to the villagers laughing and saying: "Are you a girl from Liyan's family? She really looks more beautiful the longer she grows! It seems that the water in the city supports people, and the little girl has grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Compared with many villagers who recognized Xu Qingya at a glance, Xu Qingya, who was originally a member of the village, seemed a little strange to these villagers.Fortunately, she has not been back for two years, so she can still remember the names of some older villagers.

Xu Qingya, who has been sweet-talking since she was a child, was called Uncle, Uncle, Aunt, and Grandpa, and the villagers seemed very happy.Gradually, the return of Xu Qingya's two brothers and sisters to the village seemed to make the fishing village lively again!
